If you are curious about what permaculture design is but are not ready to commit to a full Permaculture Design Course, this online programme is the ideal way to learn about what permaculture has to offer. Over four online sessions we will provide you with an introduction to permaculture design and a basic understanding of how whole systems thinking can be applied in sustainable design.
By the end of the course you should be aware of essential principles of permaculture design and some design tools which you can use to facilitate permaculture inspired initiatives in your own life and community. We aim to empower people to design sustainable solutions for themselves and with others rather than simply follow the latest trends. Find out more here
